Playing instruments fast to the point where..., It sucks. Options

GUITAR?


OH YEAH!

His playing is very boring.

I admire his stamina.

He basically moves his fingers at a frantic pace for 9 minutes. (23 notes per second or something)

I mean, I would never call him talented or tell him he had any musical merit.

I wouldn't say he isn't talented. Musicly, this is awful, but I'd say he's talented.

he definately has talent, he just chooses to play a style not all people appreciate, i personally dont like it, but to say he doesnt have talent is retarded and ignorant

Err.

He's not talented.

Anybody could learn how to do that. It's not something original or 'out there', it's just a skill. Skilled is what he is. People throw the world talented around like everybody has a talent. Their talents aren't their skills, their talents are what they do with their skills. They all just learn skills. Not to say it isn't impressive, but it's annoying when the two aren't derived. I play guitar as well, and I understand that jacking off your neck because you like the 8-bit sound it makes is impressive to those who have never played guitar or those who find sweep picking intimidating, but I would never consider this groundbreaking at all.

A lot of bands use speed as a mechanism to enhance the music, not to seem amazing at their craft. This guy does it for show.

He's skilled, but does nothing 'talentful' with his skills. Therefore, he has no musical direction or merit, and does not deserve my respect on any occasion.

He has dexterity.

I only consider musicians talented if their music actually, you know, sounds good.

Indeed. it doesn't even sound like a guitar anymore, haha.

its okay like ive heard worse!

Drum solo
sure hes a good drummer but like it sounds quite crappy!

anybody could do that, but it takes a candy load of time to practice that and get it down and for the drum solo, well that isnt impressive at all, i know 12 year old kids who can kick more ass than Joey

I'm too scared to listen to that candy

I didn't think he was that bad. Of course I only watched the first minute of it becuase I'm not wasting 9 sexin minutes of my life. But he was kinda creepy.

ya i agree. no use in just playing fast when hes really not going anywhere with it. there are countless guitarists that can play stuff like that. this guy is nothing special

This is whats wrong with guitar. Because of it, people who don't play guitar judge how good you are by how fast you can play, which is wrong.

He wasn't too bad.

Flight Of The Bumblebee is the perfect example of a song that is fast for a a reason.

I mean, albeit I'm not impressed with his ability to play it THAT fast (the way he does at the end.)

His version at the beginning is very spot on, though.

It sounded like jiberous.It was good, but couldn't understand one note
